Enemies of the State: Synopsis
It seems hard to imagine today that a Canadian government would approve a plan to round up thousands of law-abiding Canadians and lock them away simply because they were perceived to be a threat to Canadian democracy.

Conceived in the early days of the Cold War, the top-secret plan called "Profunc" was to be enacted if Canadian national security was threatened. The fear was stoked by the outbreak of the Korean War, which looked as if it might become the precursor to WW3.

In Canada, the head of the RCMP drew up a plan to lock up "Prominent Functionaries," including known communists and other people deemed to be subversives. The plan is breathtaking in its scale and detail. It listed those who were to be arrested, where they would be interned and how they were to be treated. Families of targeted people were not spared: many wives and children were to be locked away as well.

Incredibly, The Profunc blueprint remained in place until the 1980s. Only today are some people learning for the first time that they and their families were deemed Enemies of the State. The names of those people will astonish most Canadians.

"Enemies of the State' also explores the targeting of possible 'subversives' today and asks what kinds of lists might exist that the Canadian public doesn't know about.

  • "Why of course, the people don't want war; why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But after all it is the leaders of the country

  • Pt. 2 who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.  All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country" Herman Goering April 18 1946

  • I'm glad im moving out of Canada soon. :)

  • All the evil tyrant of history, were, only because they add dumb people they could deceive into doing their evil deeds. Most cops and soldier are the only responsible ones for all of humanity problem, whit out such brainless wimps deceive into thinking they are so smart when told not to think, but obey, there will be know hope for a better world.

  • @1:27

    I met that brown cop. Hes a dumb ass

  • i can tell you right now.... fuck canada!

    we're all screwed right in front of our faces. and yet, all peaceful canadians are saying "how can we get screwed more without making a fuss?"

    make a fuss! why don't tax-paying canadians give a fuck?!

    i know why! because we're told daily that the canadian government gives a fuck by spending tax-payers dollars through useless ads on t.v. that they give a fuck. telling us how to think and how to feel about issues. rather than doing any action!

  • @artsychic2000 sorry...i had another window open in the background playing music and didn't know it...too much fluoride i guess : p

  • this is what smart meters are for...spying

  • that music makes it very difficult to listen to. this is important information. The music is unnecessary and distracting

  • "The Boomerang Effect" (see Wikipedia) This ploy is being used in the full knowledge that it WILL provoke a boomerang effect. The great Chinese General Sun Tsu regarded this as the most essential preliminary strategie, Bush-Whacking is another term. People who hold mild opinions react and adopt strong opinions. This allows the Artificial Intelligence Surveillance Stystem to identify and/or target "Ring-Leaders".....Niccolo Machiavelli addressed his work to the common people for their education!
